A Morrisville, North Carolina firm – Device Solutions is making headlines for shattering glass ceilings in the world of Internet of Things. The company’s latest project revolves around creating an emergency digital paging solution for PBS North Carolina and the North Carolina Department of Informational Technology’s First Responder Emerging Technologies initiative.
The organization was co-founded by Bob Witter and Chris Lamb in 2003, jointly with thirty years of experience in device design and development experience. Taking its place in the world of Internet of Things, Device Solutions’ core expertise is in design and development of wireless device designs and worldwide device certifications. The partnership under which Device Solutions will develop the Emergency Digital Paging Over Public Television (eDPPT) technology, seeks to bridge the reliability and coverage gaps in communication methods as safety agencies rely on different communications methods, like radio, land-mobile, cellular, and paging for redundancy.
The firm has been tasked by other organizations to develop different Internet of Things devices, often focusing on dispensation applications, remote monitoring or tracking. The firm developed a method of vehicle tracking, which is used by lenders to identify vehicles on which liens were placed, should repossession be mandatory because of default in payment. They also automated recording and monitoring the dispensing of fluids, like insecticide or soap and developed remotely accessible smart locks for real estate professionals.
According to Device Solutions, the biggest current trend in the Internet of Things industry is combining remote data collection with machine learning to make smart decisions without the need to transfer loads of raw data. The firm is targeting North Carolina’s agricultural industry and is deploying Internet of Things systems for agricultural companies and farmers to optimize resources and operational efficiency. This is a market that’s been largely ignored by more widespread adoption of Internet of Things devices, such a market can provide firms with significant savings over manual processes that are being utilized today.
To do this, the firm is implementing a technology product they developed, Cellio, which a simple agnostic monitoring system with a variety of inputs. One advantage of Celio is that it can easily be connected to off-the-shelf sensors that provide remote monitoring for pressure, humidity, temperature, ultrasonic, level and other parameters. The back end of the system is configurable to provide application specific data representation and alerting capabilities.
One application for Cellio is in cylindrical gas monitoring for retail gas businesses, which uses the product to notify the company when a gas cylinder is low on gas and should be refilled. Celio is also used to monitor the helium levels in tanks positioned in the flower department of Kroger stores and used by customers to inflate balloons. Other novel trends in Internet of Things aligns with the demographic shifts happening in the United States, as the baby boomer generation retires and ages. More people have decided to age in place, staying in their residences for longer periods of time. This will increase demand for caregiving services supported and enhanced by connected devices.
